HBO向黑客妥協，願意支付25萬“漏洞發現金”

The hackers behind HBO's recent data breach have leaked an email in which the U.S. cable channel offered them $250,000 as a 'bounty payment,' it was reported Thursday.
本週四報道，竊取了HBO數據的黑客最近泄露了一封郵件，內容是美國有線電視願意支付25萬美元的“漏洞發現金”。

The message from HBO, the Time Warner Inc cable unit that broadcasts 'Game of Thrones,' offers the money as part of a program in which 'white-hat professionals' are rewarded for identifying cyber security flaws, according to Variety.
根據Variety報道，這些消息是HBO旗下的時代華納有線電視公司主動支付“贖金”作爲正義的黑客找到網絡漏洞的獎勵金。而該電視公司播放的就是《權利的遊俠》劇集。

HBO also requested the hackers to extend a ransom payment deadline by one week.
同時，HBO也要求黑客延長贖金的交付時間，時間大約至一週。

'You have the advantage of having surprised us,' the message from HBO reads. 'In the spirit of professional cooperation, we are asking you to extend your deadline for one week.'
郵件中這樣寫道：“你們的才能確實驚異到了我們了，本着專業的合作精神，我們要求你延長一週的期限。”

They have threatened to release new data from the reach every Sunday until the sum is paid.
黑客們還表示，如果贖金不交清，每到週六，他們就會泄露新的信息。

This week, that included the hackers releasing a months worth of emails from HBO's vice president and a synopsis of the upcoming episode of Game of Thrones.
本週，黑客就公開了HBO副總裁的一個月的郵件信息以及即將要播放的《權利的遊戲》一集摘要。

So far the HBO hack data dumps have been limited, falling well short of the chaos inflicted on Sony in 2014.
到目前爲止，HBO遭黑客泄露的內容非常有限，遠遠低於2014年索尼當時的混亂程度。

In that attack, hackers unearthed thousands of embarrassing emails and released personal information, including salaries and social security numbers, of nearly 50,000 current and former Sony employees.
在那次襲擊中，黑客們公開了成千封不齒的郵件以及個人信息，包括索尼5萬的工作人員的薪水、社保號碼。

Those behind the HBO hack claim to have more data, including scripts, upcoming episodes of HBO shows and movies, and information damaging to HBO.
而這一次，侵襲HBO的黑客表示，他們手上有更多的數據，其中包括劇本、即將上映的電影和電視劇以及一些對HBO傷害極大的信息。
